This week’s Bloggers’ Challenge was to use this sketch to create our card. I actually had this done a few weeks ago. Mary, Lisa and I used this sketch for one of our challenge days, knowing that it would be an upcoming Bloggers’ Challenge! I was glad to have it done early!
I used one of my favorite sets in the Occasions Mini called And Many Mower. Since the sketch was pretty simple, I wanted to make sure I added lots of texture. I think I accomplished that!
I started with a base of Kraft cardstock. Then I ran a layer of Baja Breeze thru my Big Shot with the Texturz Diamonds plate. I added a strip of the Argyle Manchester Designer Paper along the side. Next is the 1" wide Chocolate Double Stitched Ribbon across the width…with a yummy Kraft Corduroy Button (I really LOVE them…can you tell?) Finally, I stamped the Golfer in Basic Brown on Whisper White and used my AquaPainter and ink pads to color him in. That is layered on Chocolate Chip and Kraft.
Pretty simple, huh? But…what a great card for someone who loves to golf!
Hope you have a great weekend. We are getting together with our best friends for dinner on Saturday night. The rest of the time I hope to get some stamping done…my card kit finished for May…and to relax after the hectic past couple weekends!
